Every weekend, 80 to 100 people walk into our shop to sell us cards. For a long time that was chaos. A paper list. People hovering by the counter. "Am I next?" Staff guessing at wait times. Sellers giving up and walking out. So I built a web app. Now you sign up on your phone. You see how long the line is. You get a text when it's your turn. And on our side, we can finally see how long people wait and how long each buy takes. Built it in hours. Cost me almost nothing. Here's the part that matters: this problem was never going to get solved the old way. Too small to hire a developer for. Too specific to buy off the shelf. So it just stays broken, like a thousand other small problems in every small business. AI changed that math. Which is why the "AI slop" conversation wears on me a little. A lot of it is gatekeeping dressed up as taste. Does the code look pretty? Don't care. Did I hire a designer or developer? No. Does it work? Yes. Do sellers wait less and does my team have their Saturday back? Yes. That's the whole scorecard. Entrepreneurs have always solved problems with whatever tools were within reach. AI is just the newest tool, and it's a good one. If there's a problem in your business you've been living with because "it's not worth fixing," it might be worth fixing now. What's the small broken thing you've just accepted?
